10-11: Post-Conviction DNA Testing: Sophisticated DNA techniques are
increasingly being used to reopen long-settled criminal cases. Some
officials oppose this practice, saying death row inmates and others
are just putting off their rightful sentences. Others say that DNA
evidence so often proves the person behind bars is in fact guilty
that such tests should be standard. A panel talks about the debate
over post-conviction DNA testing.

Dowling joins Diane to discuss her new book "The Frailty Myth"
